It's amazing what some people read into songs.

I probably wrote three-quarters of the songs without an instrument in my hands.

I think there are shades of political songs; some are more subtle and can be more effective for being subtle, for being more metaphorical. I've written a lot of songs like that, where it's not really clear if it's a war song or a relationship song.
